'Big Edge' sits in the middle of the traffic circle outside the front entrance of Vdara Hotel. It is a colorful collection of about 200 rowboats, kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddle boats and catamarans wrapped together with stainless steel wire cable forming a web-like structure that is designed to 'evoke a blooming flower.' Nancy Rubins is an American sculptor famous for 'gravity-defying' works created from salvaged industrial consumer goods like airplane parts, electrical appliances, mattresses and boats. 'Big Edge' is 57-by-75-feet and took about six weeks to build.
